Mr.. EDIToR. The more contemplate
this subject the more the conviction forces
itself upon my mind that this Office should
be filed by the ablest man available for the
position. 1t should be Glled oy man in
whose intellectual training the teachers
can place confidence, and whose ability
inspires them with respect and reverence.
These qualities count for naueht, II they
are not ccmplemented by judgment, reason
and common sense.
Among the pupils In our public schools
are the future representatives Of every pro-
fessiOn, and possibly future generals,
governors and presidents.
The directors, who have been elected by
the people to elect man to superintend
| their school, have a great responsibility.
When they view the results which attach
to their choice, personal friendship, political
favor and every other consideration of this
nature, sink iato insignifcance. They are
to elect man to superintend the schools
in which are teachers who train minds to
take their places, and at no very distant
day, as free men and free women in society,
whose life is liberty and whose soul is in
| telligence. To the teachers is committed
trust such as monarchs never held, TO
educate minds for intelligent co operation
in the maintenance of national self-govern-
ment, for bearing responsibility in nation
where the people constitute the legitimate
sovereignty; where mind is the basis of
national strength, and its proper training
the basis of national dignity and honor
Their office is TO develop within their
pupils the sentiments of self-dignity and
self-respect, which will fit them for the occu-
pancy of their future spheres of responsi
bility and duty. If such are the duties and
responsibilities of the teachers, should they
not look for extraordinary qualities In
county superintendent? Let then, intell-
gence and self command, discrimination
and justice, equanimity and prudence
in short, let mind, cultivated, enlightened,
liberal, be possessed by the man for whom
you cast your votes for county supernten
dent,
How many Of the candidates for this
position possess these qualifications? The
boards of directors sheuld call for the can
didacy Of such men as Prof. J. L. Potteiger,
of Weatherly, or Mr.. Horace Heydt, of
Lehighton, and show by such action that
they appreciate talent as against concet
and assumption.
1t would be well for the directors to con.
suit the teachers, who know the wants OF
the schools, before they cast their ballots
for county superintendent. TEACHER.

The Trick Exposed,

The fy-blister trick has been played for
some time past in many of the adjoining
counties, with varying degrees of success.
They go about, generally striking sympa-
thetic persons, exhibiting their "frightfulY
burned limbs" caused, as they represent,
by natural gas explosions. Two of the i'm
posters were arrested last week in New
Castle and physician on examining the
"burns" found they we're self-inalcted
Further investigation proved that these fell
lows had purchased "ay-blister" and put it
on their arms and legs TO carry out their
story of a natural gas explosion.

OF Interest to Tax COLLECTORS.

1t is now alleged that tax collectors
elected at the recent elections have no
authority to collect taxes. The act of June
25th, 1885, providing that "the qualified
electors in each borough and township in
this commonwealth shall on the Sd Tuesday
of February, each year hereafter, elect an
officer TO be styled collector of taxes, whose
term of Office commence on the first Mon
day of April next after his election;" and
regulating the collection Of taxes in the
several boroughs and townships of the
State, has been recently decided by Judge
Livingstone, of Lancaster county, to be
unconstitutional as being within the lnhibi-
tion of article III, section I, and article TX,
section ], Of the constitution prohibiting
local legislation on the subject Of taxation,
etc. II this decision should be sustained
by the Supreme court then the election
this spring Of tax collectors Is invalid and
they would be without authority TO collect
taxes

OUR MAN ABOUT TOWN.
The Things our People Find Time to Talk
About from Dayto Day.

Apodt IfOn bhy W btJs
We had the pleasure Of meeting the
coming Superintendent OF Carbon county
schools last Saturday. The gentleman In
question is agreeable and affable and is un-
questionably one of the best educated men
in the county; we are speaking of Prof. J.
l.. PotteIger, principal of the Weatherly
public schools. Mr.. Potteiger has had
twelve years experience in public school
work which emirently qualities him for the
important position to which the directors
Of Carbon county schools will certainly
call him.
1T has been rumored ou our streets
during the week that a citizen of Weissport
is looking for a place to locate foundry.
We would call the attention of our Board
Of Trade to this fact and request them to
move in the matter. By exonerating the
Hersh Steam Heating Company from the
payment Of taxes for ten years, ,our borough
council has established precedent which
we hope will not be without its good re-
suits. All progressive and liberal minded
citizens commend the action of our bOr-
ough officials in thus generating from the
payment of taxes any industry that may
locate here. To the gentleman at Weiss
port we say, Locate here!
We have heard 1t remarked that the
Chautauqua Circle, of town. will at an
early day give our people the benefit of
choice musical and literary treat. We epre.
diet for It grand success.
The popular New York Concert Com
pany, under the management Ct Prof A.
ID. FoUdraY, will, with the assistance of the
Singing Convention, give one of their just
fy celebrated entertainments in School
Hall, Saturday evening, 10Th instant. Mrs.
A. d. Foudray is undoubtedly one of the
very best ballad singers in this country, and
those who fail to hear her will miss grand
treat; many features of the entertainment
are exceedingly amusing, and if you want
to laugh and grow fat in a single night,
make it point TO hear A. L. Thayer's
Cork Leg" Admission, twenty cents.
Don't fail to so.
